Two factor authentication mostly suffices and increases the security of any system however there is always an option of integrating multi-factor authentication without hampering the user experience. For example, we at SmartSignin has added an image based authentication which protects against phishing attacks as well. It is not uncommon and is used by other companies like Quora.
However, the serious concern comes when the companies do not follow a good key management practice. Most companies stores the encryption keys on the server itself which is a serious threat if a hacker breaches the server (becoming very common these days).
So I would disagree that Identity & Access Management domain has a fuzzy future. It is going to be a huge market in the near future but the underlying concern will always be about the security of the system itself.
